NSW’s proposed renewable energy zone near Dubbo has become the first REZ in the country to secure planning approval, allowing construction to start on a venture capable of delivering 4.5 gigawatts of power this decade.
The milestone for the Central-West Orana zone, which involves 240 kilometres of transmission lines and supporting infrastructure, comes a day after the Australian Energy Market Operator released a $122 billion blueprint for the power grid to support the drive to net zero emissions by 2050.
